Syracuse teen whose arm is broken wants to handle punishment himself

A Syracuse teen who was pushed off his bicycle Tuesday refused to provide information to police because he "doesn't snitch and will take care of it myself," according to police reports.

Tyler Derinski, 16, of Leavenworth Avenue, was taken to University Hospital after being injured in the assault which happened shortly before 4 p.m. in the 100 block of Eastwood Road. He told officers he has known the suspect for about seven years and thought they were friends.

Investigators can't make an arrest without Derinski identifying the perpetrator, reports said. Derinski said he will rely instead on "karma."
